LB Roquan Smith

The NFL's leading tackler will play his first game for the Ravens after an impressive 4 ½-year run with the Chicago Bears. Smith is the first player since Ravens legend Ray Lewis to record 300-plus tackles and 30-plus tackles for loss in a two-year span.

OLB Tyus Bowser

Bowser, who led the Ravens with a career-high 7.0 sacks in 2021, is expected to play his first game since suffering a torn Achilles in January. Having Bowser back in the outside linebacker rotation gives Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald another valuable chess piece to use against the Saints.

RT Morgan Moses

Moses faces a difficult assignment in Saints defensive end Cam Jordan, a powerful run defender who also has 5.0 sacks. Jordan wants to make a bee line toward Lamar Jackson and Moses will try to prevent that from happening. The Ravens will also need Moses to help get the ground game going, especially if Mark Andrews is out.

WR DeSean Jackson

Jackson is expected to be elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's game, which would be his first as a Raven. The veteran speedster will look to replace the big-play threat lost by Bateman's injury. Jackson said he feels ready, and he can still run.

TE Isaiah Likely

With seven catches for 77 yards and a touchdown against Tampa Bay, Likely showed the route awareness and run-after-catch ability he displayed throughout training camp and the preseason. It was a veteran-like performance by the fourth-round rookie, and the Ravens may need more plays from him in New Orleans.
